Kooiman Posted August 2, 2025 Share Posted August 2, 2025 Our new data lad supposedly suggested Hojlund to Atalanta. I think with him it's a great reminder of how important context is in these situations. Just over 1 in 3 isn't terrible for Atalanta because they paid €17 million. 1 in 3 for is terrible for Man Utd because they paid £64 million. He was a 20 year old when he signed. He also went 9 games without scoring in Serie A during a period that saw him put on the bench. Given Atalanta switched systems a fair bit that season it's bordering on impossible to figure out which best suited him. Sometimes he was playing in a front two, other times he was part of a 3-4-3. I can't even fathom how they justified spending so much. It was impossible to predict his ceiling, and yet they paid out like he was one of the most exciting strikers in Europe. If they'd given it 12 months they could have easily gone back with a similar bid had his goal record got better. I find it's often impatience that forces bad transfers. I won't profess to have seen loads of him at Atalanta (I gave up my season ticket the year before), but what bits I saw screamed of a young player with some interesting qualities but it was clear he hadn't quite figured out how to apply it effectively and consistently. I don't disagree with Alan Shearer's assessment that he's damaged goods, because I think several seasons getting pelters every week will damage anyone's confidence.

And even better, no bid from the Man Utd side yet either. Likely finalising all the boring details of how much gets paid upfront and the structure etc. Think the actual number is fine, as even Romano has been saying previously that Leipzig knew we were willing to meet their number.

gjohnson Posted August 2, 2025 Share Posted August 2, 2025 Take the agents and media out of it, and anyone choosing Man U over us is obviously just after the money. Any player with a mind of their own would see how toxic they are to players who dont impact immediately. My opinion only but i reckon Zirkzee anh Hojland would be a million times better with us than Man U Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solitude20 Posted August 2, 2025 Share Posted August 2, 2025 29 minutes ago, The College Dropout said: Thats the reason we had a free run at him. He had hit 17 La Liga’s the season prior. Sesko looks a talent and is the type of gamble we might have to take. But it’s a scary gamble. Same team and league Nkunku was scoring 20 and 2 in 3 coming off the wing (or 10 dunno) We signed Isak when he also was 22 and at that point he had 9 goals for Sweden and 45 in his club career. Sesko already has 16 international goals and 68 at club level. Yes, 29 of those club goals were in the Austrian league, but still worth pointing out.
